Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: ALLEN JOHN VINTON
IPC: D05B15/00
Filed: 1911-03-24
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 7408. Allen, J. V., and Bertrand, F. E. March 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Boot-sole sewing machines, welting and turnshoe; feed by welt guide.-Welting machines having curved hook-needles are provided with a welt - guide having two parts adapted to act directly on the welt and actuated relatively to one another to cause them to grip and release the welt. The parts may be so shaped as to mould the welt, while the welt guide may feed both the welt and the boot, and may be caused to release the welt at the end of the sewing operation. The invention is described with reference to a Goodyear machine having the usual back-rest and a channel-guide 3 mounted on a pivoted camactuated lever 4. The welt guide consists of two parts, one of which consists of a plate 9 on a lever 10, to which plate is adjustably attached a plate 11, providing a shoulder 12 and a lip 13. The other part 14 is mounted adjustably in a lever 16 and both levers 10, 16 are carried by an eccentrically mounted bolt 19 in an arm 20 projecting from a feed-slide 21. The plate 14 is so formed as to bend and mould the welt over the end of the plate 9. The levers 10, 16 are actuated by toggle-links 25, 26, the pivot pin 27 of which carries a sleeve engaging a cam-slot in a lever 30, which lever is slotted to receive a block 32 on a bell-crank lever 34 carrying a roll 36 running in a cam-groove 35. The connexion between the toggle 26 and the lever 16 is adjustable. A spring 39 forces the welt-guide against the work, the movement being limited by an adjustable stop 41 acting against a projection 42 on the arm 20. When the needle is in the work and the welt-guide against the boot, the cam 35 swings the lever 30 to the left to first lift the pivot 27 to open the guide members, and then, when the face 45 comes against a stop screw 46, to swing the guide away. The feedslide is then retracted, and the cam returns the welt-guide, which again grips the welt. The needle is then retracted and the slide 20 is advanced to effect the feed. To allow the welt to draw freely through the guide at the completion of the swing, a switch cam 47 is provided in the groove 35, which, on the reversing of the cam-shaft to relieve the thread tension, is lifted against its spring by a spring-held pawl 51 on the lever 34 riding under a lug 50. The roll 36 is thereby caused to enter a recess 48 to retract, and open the members of, the welt-guide.

Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 14,091. Baumann, G. June 14. Locking-apparatits. - In the kind of locking- device for cycles, in which a lock is inserted between the spokes of a wheel and adapted to engage holes or projections upon the prongs of the fork, a permutation lock with disks or rings directly operated by hand is used to secure a sliding member in operative position. In one form, Fig. 4, the disks e, f, g are mounted in a casing d and have central holes with square parts at i to accommodate ridges o upon the sliding pin k. In use, the lock is inserted between the spokes, the fixed pin n is engaged in a hole in one of the fork limbs, the sliding pin k is pressed out by means of a projection m to engage the hole in the other limb, and the rings are then disarranged so that the round portions engage the grooves l between the ridges. In another form the fixed and sliding pins are arranged in a sleeve which is slotted to accommodate the projection m and studs corresponding to the ridges o upon the sliding pin, the studs being arranged to co-operate with grooved and recessed disks rotatable about the sleeve. Fig. 10 shows in the inoperative position a lock in which a pin v and a bush 6 are provided with sockets w, w<1>, respectively, to engage projections upon the fork limbs. The bush 6 has three studs 7 which, when the pin v and sleeves y, z are in a predetermined position, may enter a longitudinal groove 5 in the pin and similar slots 4 at the inner ends of the sleeves, so that the lock may be collapsed to the position shown in Fig. 10 and removed ,from the cycle. The studs have collars 3 with letters or numbers, and the socket w is also provided with letters &c. To prevent the bush from falling off when the lock is not in use, the pin v is turned so that the outer stud 7 enters the circumferential groove x; or a bayonet-slot may be provided in the bush to receive a stud on the pin v. If desired, the socket w may be arranged to rotate on the pin v, and both sockets may be shaped to fit snugly against the fork limbs when in operative position. In order that the combination of the lock may be altered at will, the rings may be formed in two parts, the outer part carrying the letters or numerals being secured to the inner part by a small set-screw or pin engaging one of a number of axial slots in the inner part. The pins k, n, Fig. 4, may, if desired, be in the form of sockets. According to the Provisional Specification (1) the bush 6, Fig. 10, may have one stud only to come into register with all the slots; and (2) the holes to be engaged by the pins k, n, Fig. 4, may be formed in brackets brazed on the fork limbs.

Abstract: 24,838. Kind, M. Nov. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Solidifying and then removing films.-In apparatus for cooling liquefied solids or easilysolidified substances, such as gelatine &c. and for cutting the same after they have set, an endless rubber band on which the liquefied substance is sprayed passes through a cooling-chamber so as to solidfy the substance, which is then removed by a scraper and is conveyed to a carrier belt and thence to circular knives for cutting the semi-solid gelatine into strips and then to a vertically reciprocating knife whereby the strips are cut into lengths. The cooling- chamber has insulating-walls 3, and is divided into two compartments 5, 6 by a partition 4. The compartment 6 is provided with refrigerating-coils 9, and a current of air is caused to pass through them by means of a fan 15. The current is sent in a zigzag manner by baffleplates 11 and the cooled air then enters the compartment 5 through an opening 7 and is directed by baffle-plates 45, 46 on to the upper surface of an endless belt or band 21 which passes over a pulley 20 at one end of the compartment and out of the compartment on to a pulley 26 at the other end. The belt has upturned edges, and the gelatine in the liquid form is fed through pipes 50, 51 to the belt, and to provide for an even distribution thereon the belt is guided horizontally over rollers 35, 36. The pulleys 20, 26 are driven at the same speed by sprocket and chain gearing from a spindle 63 which is driven from a convenient source of power by a chain 61. Spindles 75, 81 are driven from the spindle 63 and the spindle 81 has a roller 82 thereon around which passes a carrier belt 83 adapted to receive the semi-solid gelatine which has been scraped off the belt 21 by means of the spring-controlled scraper 90. A series of circular knives 105 are adjustably mounted between nuts on a threaded shaft 104 above an idler roller 85 over which the band 83 passes, and are rotated by gearing from a spindle 95 to cut the gelatine into strips, after which the strips are transferred by a second scraper 110 on to trays carried by a conveyer belt 112, which passes over the pulley 75 and a similar pulley 135. The strips as they leave the scraper 110 are cut by a vertically reciprocating knife 113, which slides in a frame 115 and is actuated by connecting-links and cranks on the shaft 95. The knife and frame 115 are balanced by a counterweight 121, and to vary the length of the strips, the speed of the belt 83 may be regulated. The trays that receive the cut gelatine comprise frames 125 upon which is mounted a wire meshing, and they are successively placed on the belt 112 which is driven at a greater speed than the belt 83 so that the cut portions are separated. The solidification is completed by stacking the full trays in drying-chambers.
